<P>What I want to know is why some Christians are so against accepting Gays and Lesbians? Don't they get really confused when they are suppose to love everyone and then&nbsp;try to reject and hate others? I don't recall Christ saying anything in the Gospels against Gay people. And if you follow Christ, would you&nbsp;not follow him, hence the name Christian. </P>

<DIV></DIV>&gt;Dear Friends: 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;If I were a minister who'd just spent an evening teaching on "The 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;Sin of Homophobia" in a widely-advertised local lecture, I think I 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;might have refrained from publishing a not-very-funny or 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;well-designed homophobic joke in my magazine--unless I wanted to 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;appear both hypocritical and homophobic at the same time. 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;Doug Wilson, in the latest *Credenda Agenda:* 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;"The reason Episcopalians can’t play chess any more is that they 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;have forgotten the difference between a bishop and a queen." 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;Oooh.&nbsp;&nbsp;My side.&nbsp;&nbsp;It's splitting.&nbsp;&nbsp; There's just nothin' funnier than 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;calling clergy members by degrading and homophobic names.&nbsp;&nbsp;And since 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;Episcopalians are so well known for playing chess, it's a 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;particularly apposite joke, too. 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;Homophobia--it's a sin, unless you can get a cheap laugh with it.
